Google Engineers have confirmed an issue with Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). There is an issue with:

    Network connectivity from newly created VMs to VMs in different regions
    VM to VM communication
    VM to VM communication over internal IPs
In the following locations:

    asia-east1 (active)
    europe-west4-b (active)
    us-central1 (active)
Edit: they marked europe-west4-b down again


us-central1-f for me


I like the "Claudish to English" name better.

https://github.com/gvzdv/claudish-to-english


The funniest part is that that project's own readme includes lots of good Claudish.

> If CLAUDISH_MODEL names a model you have not pulled, every rewrite is skipped — with the one-time notice above.


Was gonna say that, the README is unreadable


Word, that one also includes an example which is great, shows really clearly what the issue is for those who might be less familiar


I'm unfamiliar with claudish and the example helped show the problem. But! There was something uncomfortably familiar in the Claudish example -- this is the way human programmers write when they're deep in the weedy details, and writing the changelist description afterwards as if coming up for air. Overuse of parentheses in nested lists especially, as if the English text needs to bend to the strict needs of a C++ parser.

The rewrite did seem to lose the important fact about the ensure- pattern being idempotent.


It's such a great example. It writes so well compared to Claude.

I'd love to know what the hell Antrhopic has done to make Claude's writing so, so bad.


What's sad is that, at least in some cases, Sonnet 3.5's writing was actually pretty good. Sometimes even good enough to read outloud verbatim.


The bar for that is sadly low, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlYa8NV5k-U


That one is more specific, but "vomit" captures the feeling of Opus 5's writing very well for me. I don't know if it's the watermarking, but every single language idiosyncrasy that Opus 4.x (x > 5) had has been pushed up to 11 on Opus 5. Plus we got nouns verbing and seams seaming.

It's really unusable for anything other than code. And I have to remove its incomprehensible comments 50% of the time before committing anyway. After interacting with it, "slop vomit" is truly the most fitting description. I have to admit I have lost my temper and spontaneously referred to its output as vomit more than once. Seems like I'm not the only one.


The Claudish example seems to have more information.

Are people really having trouble parsing this??


Yes. Every single response has this level of _serious_ detail (the kind you'd only go into when you really need someone to understand something).


multiplied a hundreds times a day. Yes.


YES. A thousand times yes. It's garbage.


I just want to be able to share my hosted service with other people and not have the responsibility of being able to access their photos. Me or anyone that happens to gain access to my server.


I left nextcloud because how slow it felt even on my beefy server. I switched to opencloud.eu, it might have less features but it's just what I needed


Seriously. I ran it on a server with two Xeon CPUs and 128GB of RAM. The web interface took minutes to do anything. Browsing a large photo library was just completely unworkable (and that was before they ripped out all the sorting and filtering features from the photo library).

My instance killed itself somehow, likely a failed auto update. I was, of course, using the default docker setup with the watchtower instance etc etc. I never got it to come back up, and I haven't missed it at all.

Even opening the damn login page took a good 30 seconds to load, there's no excuse for this kind of performance on a real-deal enterprise server.


NextCloud needs tuning (mostly of php-fpm and caching ) oob to be fast/usable in my experience. Just throwing resources at it won't make it faster as the defaults are generally quite conservative.

They even have a specific guide for this topic, https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/instal...

As a side note, it's PHP so your single core clocks will generally be more relevant for latency than multi-core performance, feeding many cores requires a lot of divisble work.


> it's PHP so your single core clocks will generally be more relevant for latency than multi-core performance, feeding many cores requires a lot of divisble work.

That is more or less built-in when you use php-fpm which launches a flock of instances. Slow things in Nextcloud like thumbnail generation are divided over whatever cores you feed it as long as you make sure to allow for enough php-fpm instances to be launched. It won't make generating a single thumbnail any faster but it does speed up generating lots of them.


I run it on a Hetzner vps with 4 vcpus, 16gb of ram that's also running multiple other containers. I haven't checked recently but most of that ram is free.

I'm not going to claim nextcloud is the snappiest app but I can open it right now, from across the world from my server as I'm on vacation, and it loads in <5s. I haven't done much tuning.


I run mine in hetzner cloud with 4vcpu, 8gb of ram. Via AIO including recognize, colabora and whiteboard. It runs very smooth, even when I access my photos, which number in are 100.000+ I guess you have some config / setup issues


I'm not sure how you are holding it, but I ran Nextcloud on a VPS with under 1GB RAM for many years, now it's on a 12GB RAM cloud instance and is only using a few GB of RAM last time I checked.


I moved to ddg at least 5 years ago, at that time results were not as good as Google's but it works great for me now.


This strain was already known for person to person transmission. In the south of Argentina we had a big outbreak after a sick person went to a birthday party in 2019.


Some party: 34 infected, 11 died, R of 2.12, 18% infected by aerosol, incubation period 9-40 days

Scrolling is so laggy it's annoying to follow on mobile (FF 151.0a1)


There's a nice episode from darknetdiaries about it https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/159/


Unfortunately that relies on Joe Tidy as the source.

I tend to refrain from being overly critical of journalists who write about me, but Joe Tidy is a special kind of idiot who wrote an entire book about me based mostly around interviews of people who aren't actually the people they claim to be.


Is there a perspective or analysis that you've read that does a good job, in your opinion?


I doubt such a thing exists, it's a difficult world for outsiders to penetrate.

I don't think we'll ever get to see it, these stories get less and less relevant as time passes.
